Narendra Modi 25 years in office Indian politics governance milestones public service anniversary

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has marked 25 continuous years in public office, a tenure that began as the Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2001 before he became Prime Minister in 2014. The milestone has been observed through various commemorative events across India, including special religious ceremonies in Varanasi and local celebrations in Neemuch and Lucknow.

Supporters and government bodies, such as the Andhra Pradesh Cabinet, have passed resolutions congratulating Modi, citing his focus on digital governance, infrastructure development, and welfare programs like Ayushman Bharat and Jan Dhan. His administration has emphasized a vision of a ‘developed India’ by 2047, driven by digital public infrastructure and economic self-reliance.

While the milestone has drawn congratulatory messages from international leaders, it also remains a subject of political debate. Critics and opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, continue to challenge the government on issues of economic inequality, political polarization, and the long-term impact of specific policies.
